How long will God be patient before His wrath falls?
The exact duration of God's patience is not revealed; no one knows how long He will continue to be patient. Yet it is certain that one day His patience and grace will end, and His wrath will fall, as pictured in Revelation's final bowl judgments against Babylon.
Les explains that Revelation 16–17 describes the final bowl judgment, including hundred-pound hailstones at Armageddon. The great city is divided into three parts, the cities of the nations fall, and all great commercial centers—Tokyo, Singapore, Hong Kong, and others—collapse in a moment. Babylon, the whole consortium of commercial cities, comes in remembrance before God to receive the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath. Les notes that believers wonder how long God will be patient, but we do not know; one day His patience and grace will end, and His wrath will fall.
